Connecting pipes to TekSpan?
If you’re supporting pipework with TekSpan then what options do you have to securely connect the pipework?
Check out our guide below to see what works best for your application.
U-bolts
TekSpan’s 14mm slot width means u-bolts of up to 12mm with extra leg length can be simply installed through one face, and exit on the opposite. Nuts and washers each side of the TekSpan profile keep the u-bolt securely bolted to the beam.
Pipe straps
Heavy-duty pipe straps can be bolted directly to the TekSpan profile using the unique T-lock bolts, providing an exceptionally high degree of rigidity and strength for larger diameter pipework.
TekSpan pipe holder angle brackets
Connecting pipework to TekSpan horizontal profiles is easy using the angle bracket supports – simply T-lock bolt the angle brackets to the TekSpan profile, and drop your U-bolt over the pipe into the angle brackets. Two sizes of bracket cater for pipework sizes from 21 to 220mm.
Direct-rod connector
Unique to TekSpan is the threaded rod connector. This neat fixing simply T-locks into the TekSpan slot and provides a secure M10 or M12 female thread connection, capable of accommodating loads of up to 3kN.
H/D threaded rod connector bracket
For applications requiring a heavier duty connection, the H/D connector uses the T-lock bolt system to secure to the TekSpan profile, to provide an M16 threaded rod female connection capable of supporting up to 5kN load. Bracket supplied in pairs.
H/D twin roller bearing bracket
With M12 or M16 female thread connectors this heavy duty bracket is suitable for absorbing movements in laterally mounted or suspended pipework. Single mount, or twin mount connectors, which allow for dual pipe runs.
Fixpoint bracket
Height-adjustable heavy duty bracket for fixing pipes without sound insulation.
TekSpan pipe flange support bracket
For vertical or side-mounting of heavy pipework. Bolts directly to pipe flange, and fits pipes from 4” to 12” / 100mm to 300mm. Available to fit 80mm or 100mm TekSpan profile.
